False comfort

The desire to have someone feel as bad as you feel is a false comfort.

Ah.....I should provide more insight. Yes, an understanding is a comfort, but a need or a desire for someone hurt the way one does provides no comfort----both merely hurt. Still.

  1. Very true, yet difficult not to yearn for others to somehow catch a glimpse of our pain.

    Peace, my friend.

  2. I have met so many other women who have walked my same path and I feel like I only add their hurt to mine. It is no comfort, just hurt.

    I don't think I'd have survived the past year without them, but at the same time, I hurt more for knowing them.

  7. Knowing that doesn't stop us from wanting it sometimes.

  8. A false comfort--so true.

    And yet, I find myself tempted and pulled into that wish too often.
